Finding the Writer’s Home on my last minute Airbnb search is a true blessing to me.
I had a very soothing and relaxing stay at the Writer’s Home, while in the heart of Bangkok. The Writer’s Home is well located in one of the most convenient spots in Bangkok. It’s only 20 mins walk and 5 mins by motorcycle taxi from the Saphan Khwai BTS station, which easily link you to other great destinations in Bangkok like Chatuchak and Or Tor Kor market.
Although, it is listed as a private room, I actually feel the place is entirely mine! After greeted by my attentive host, Pensee, she gave me the key to the main gate, then I simply took the “spiral staircase”, my private and personal access to the room, no need to worry about invading the host’s privacy, what-a-great idea!
The room is pretty basic, but very spacious and clean, with high ceiling and necessary amenities in the pantry. Lots of natural light and nice morning breeze when windows are opened. I feel very welcome by a very peaceful neighborhood. The tropical garden just under the windows is quite unique and well kept.
What’s very special in the room is a big cabinet full of interesting collection of books and magazines, both English and Thai. I also learn that Pensee herself is a veteran journalist/columnist on contemporary social topics, and that’s why the place is called the Writer’s Home.
I’ll definitely keep the Writer’s Home highly in mind on my next trip to Bangkok!
